Chapter 0370: Bond
On the second day of Wang Zhonghe's imprisonment, Anxi suddenly came with good news,
This matter is related to Tubo, which has been blocked from advancing eastward for many years, so it has been watching the four towns of Anxi.
Although the land is small and the population is small, the strategic location is very important. It is the main passage from Tianzhu and Tocharian to Anxi. There are a large number of small states in the Tocharian region, most of which have paid tribute to the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty also set up a capital in the Tocharian region.
In order to control this important passage, Tubo married Xiao Bolu and married the princess to the king of Xiao Bolu, and the consequence of this incident was that more than 20 countries in the northwest of the Tang Dynasty were "all controlled by Tubo and could not pay tribute". This greatly damaged the authority of the Tang Dynasty in this region;
Since Tian Renwan, Gai Jiayun and Fumeng Lingcha and others took charge of Anxi, they have been crusading against this area one after another, but they have not succeeded.
This time, Gao Xianzhi, the deputy protector of Anxi, led 10,000 cavalry from Qiuzi, with the eunuch Bian Lingcheng as the supervising army, and on the way, Shule (Kashgar) guarded and captured Zhao Chongwei, transferred the guard and captured Jia Chongjun, and the army of Protector and Hidden State joined, and the final total strength was about 20,000 people.
This army then crossed the mountains and mountains, and it took nearly three months to reach Xiaobolu, and attacked Lianyunbao at night to subdue Xiaobolu, which greatly shocked the surrounding small countries and came to vote.
But what is a little strange is that this good news was not played by Anxi coach Fu Meng Lingcha, but by Gao Xianzhi and Bian Lingcheng, the supervisor of the army, directly from Xiao Bolu. This is tantamount to saying that this victory has nothing to do with Anxi coach Fumeng Lingcha.
As long as there is a little heart, it is not difficult to see that there is a serious power tilt among the generals and commanders of Anxi. Gao Xianzhi was just the deputy protector and won the battle. did not report to Fumeng Lingcha, the superior in charge of the entire military and political affairs of Anxi, but went directly to the court by bypassing Fumeng Lingcha. This is equivalent to a hateful slap in the face of Fu Meng Lingcha.
Li Linfu rarely came to the government hall to handle official business on this day. With this good news in his hand, he asked Zuo Xianglie: "What does Chen Xianggong think about this matter?" ”
Lie pretended to be confused and said: "Xiao Bolu has betrayed the Tang Dynasty for many years, resulting in the impassability of many countries. This time, Gao Xianzhi successfully won Xiao Bolu, after all, it shocked Xiao Xiao and raised my Tang Guowei. ”
Lie said a lot, but in fact he didn't say anything. Li Linfu smiled faintly and said, "What Chen Xianggong said is extremely true. After speaking, Li Linfu summoned Sun Jin, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and Shi Jiwen, the inspector, into his official room.
Ji Wen didn't wait for Li Linfu to ask, so he took the first step and said: "Li Xianggong, Xiao Bolu's great victory, it is very beneficial to us, Li Xianggong advocates the reuse of generals, Gao Xianzhi is a Goguryeo person, his victory once again confirms Li Xianggong's foresight." On the other hand. It can also prove that my Tang Dynasty is full of talents, and without Wang Zhonghei, the frontier is also a success. ”
Datang has always been relatively open. Since Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, there have been many foreign generals in the army, but there was no military town in the Tang Dynasty at that time. The authority of the generals is not so great. And many of those foreign generals can serve as the commander to defend one side.
However, from the late Kaiyuan period, Li Linfu in view of the precedent of Zhang Jiazhen, Wang Hui, Zhang Shuo and other ministers in the Kaiyuan Dynasty to enter the prime minister as a border general. I want to put an end to the root of the general's entry into the phase in order to consolidate my own power. He asked to resign from his concurrent position as the envoy of the Shuo Fang Festival. recommended An Sishun to succeed him, and said: "Wenchen is a general, and he is afraid of the battle array, so it is better to use the Han people and the Tibetan people." The Tibetan people are brave and good at fighting, while the Han people have no party support in the court. Tang Xuanzong took his advice.
Li Linfu advocated the reuse of generals, so that An Lushan and others were constantly promoted, and finally became the ambassador of the military, political and financial power of the control party.
Ji Wen is good at flattery, and what he said is right in Li Linfu's heart.
Li Linfu turned his head and asked Gongsun Jindao: "What do you think of Gongsun Shangshu?" ”
Gongsun Jin said: "Anxi is lonely thousands of miles away, Di Yi is around, if there is a disagreement between Anxi generals, it will inevitably give Di Yi a chance." But at the same time, because of its loneliness, if the boss is not human, it will be difficult for the court to restrain it, and over time, I am afraid that things will change. Although Gao Xianzhi is good at fighting, he is a Goguryeo person, if there is no support from the imperial court, it is difficult for him to do anything in the Western Regions, and the lower officials think that it is very suitable for Gao Xianzhi to guard Xi'an. ”
Gongsun Jin also had a clear mirror in his heart, Li Linfu's intention to help Gao Xianzhi replace Fu Mengling was already obvious, since this was the case, it was better to push it directly.
Li Linfu did not reveal his attitude, and changed the topic and said: "Gongsun Shangshu, what is the progress of Wang Zhonghe's case?" ”
"Prime minister, as expected, Wang Zhongji did not deny the fact that he disobeyed the holy decree and refused to send troops, but he flatly denied the accusation of colluding with the prince and plotting to abolish the establishment."
Li Linfu snorted coldly and said, "Then send someone to search Wang Zhonghe's mansion to see if there is any evidence of crime such as a book?" ”
The so-called book of prophecies is a book that records the fulfillment of prophecy, and the book of prophecies has always been very popular, and many people believe in it and have a great influence. For example, Wang Chong of the Han Dynasty "On Balance? There is such a record in "Actual Knowledge": "Confucius was about to die, and his last words said: 'I don't know what kind of man, who claims to be Qin Shi Huang, goes to my hall, stands on my bed, turns my clothes upside down, and dies in Shaqiu. ’”
Because the book has a great influence and is mostly used to predict regime change, it has always been taboo for emperors.
Li Linfu's meaning is very clear, didn't Wang Zhongji deny that he had colluded with the crown prince and plotted to usurp the throne? If you find a book of prophecy in this regard from Wang Zhonghe's house, see how you Wang Zhonghei can quibble?
Gongsun Jin said with some embarrassment: "Xianggong, I'm afraid this matter is not easy to handle, Dali Temple Qing Wu Zunru pretended to be high, and when he handled the case, it caused great constraints to the lower officials. In the imperial history, Yang Shenjin had an ambiguous attitude in this matter, sometimes helping the lower officials to speak, and sometimes helping Wu Zunru to play a round, they did not cooperate, and I am afraid that the matter of the book will be self-defeating. ”
Wu Zunru is a pedantic old guy, smelly and hard, but his granddaughter married the sixth son of the emperor, Rongwang Li Wan, and the relationship with the ninth princess Li Zhiying is also very good, plus there is nothing to do in Dali Temple, Li Linfu did not move him, but he didn't want to be in a big trouble at the critical moment.
In this matter, if it was Wu Zunru who made Li Linfu annoyed. That Yang Shenjin's attitude simply made him extremely angry. Therefore, Yang Shenjin can be said to have been pulled up by him.
In order to deal with Wei Jian, Li Linfu adopted the strategy of rising and descending. promoted Wei Jian to the secretary of the Criminal Department, and replaced Wei Jian's land and water transportation with Yang Shenjin to make this fat difference;
Subsequently. Because Yang Shenjin first went to the table to impeach Wei Jian and Huangfu Weiming, he had a private meeting with Jinglongguan. After overthrowing Wei Jian, Li Linfu reciprocated Li with a peach, and let Yang Shenjin take up the post of Zhongcheng in the imperial history.
However, since then, Yang Shenjin began to deliberately keep a distance from him, although everything is not clear anyway, but he will always find some excuses to shirk, usually Yang Shenjin does this, and Li Linfu endures it.
Using Wang Zhonghei to bring down the crown prince Li Heng is the ultimate goal. is related to the life of his whole family, Yang Shenjin is sloppy in this matter, it is tolerable, which is unbearable!
But now that Wang Zhonghe's case has reached a critical juncture, it is necessary to find a time to clean up Yang Shenjin, which can be said to be difficult to quench the thirst of the near water.
While Li Linfu secretly said that he had miscalculated, he secretly decided in his heart that he would talk to Yang Shenjin tonight and give him some color. I hope he will fully cooperate in this case.
At this time, Ji Wen said: "Xianggong, the lower officials think that the case of Wang Zhonghei is the key to looking at the attitude of the saint, and in the court, the prince and Wang Zhongsi both intend to move the saint with family affection. In this regard, they will definitely make a move in the future. If this matter can be put an end to, it will be much easier to confirm the guilt of Wang Zhonghei. ”
"Colliers! O Colliers! Li Linfu sighed. Colliers has been following Li Longji since before he ascended the throne and has won Li Longji's trust. Even Li Linfu sighed at Li Longji's influence.
However, Gao Lishi has been protecting Li Heng intentionally or unintentionally. Otherwise, would Li Heng be able to survive to this day? With Colliers, it is equivalent to forming a strong bond between Li Longji and the crown prince Li Heng. It seems that it is really difficult to bring down Li Heng without severing this link.
But it's harder to break that bond. Perhaps the only one who can do this is Yang Guifei.
In addition to asking Gongsun Jin and Ji Wenduo to collect some evidence of Wang Zhonghe's crimes, after the dispersal of the dynasty that day, Li Linfu sent people to invite Yang Shenjin, as well as Yang Zhao and Li Ang, to his mansion.
Yang Shenjin was the first to go to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, but Li Linfu deliberately hung him, so Yang Shenjin waited in the hall alone.
Li Linfu first met with Yang Zhao and talked about a pillar of incense time, and then met Li Ang.
Li Ang and Yang Zhao have a very good relationship, and Li Linfu did not meet at the same time, so there must be other considerations.
While following the butler of the Prime Minister's Mansion to the main hall, Li Ang secretly pondered Li Linfu's intention of inviting him to the mansion.
Halfway through, I happened to meet Li Rong, the sixth lang of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Li Rong had suffered several losses from Li Ang, and he was very unhappy with him, and he couldn't help but snort coldly when he met, and said in a weird manner: "Yo! Isn't this Li Tanhua, I really didn't expect that Li Tanhua would come to my house one day, what? You want your father to carry you, right? Don't admit it, I've seen a lot of people like you. ”
Li Ang said with a smile: "Liulang's deduction is really accurate, if you go to the street to set up a stall to tell fortunes, you must be very profitable, Liulang may wish to consider it." ”
As soon as Li Liulang heard this, he was about to have a seizure, and the housekeeper of the Li Mansion hurriedly said: "Liulang, Li Changshi is a guest invited by Xianggong, and Xianggong is waiting in the main hall and can't be delayed." ”
Li Rong was very afraid of his father, and when he heard what the housekeeper said, he didn't dare to have a seizure, and he held his breath and suffocated him into a pig's liver.
Li Ang then smiled and said: "Liulang, they are all their own people, just kidding, don't take it seriously, if you make money and set up a stall to tell fortunes, it's not fun, why don't you go to Longyou with me another day and find the Tubo people for recreation together?" ”
"Humph!" Li Liulang couldn't get out of the fire in his stomach, so he had to snort coldly and walk away.
